Shirley A. Coughlin
1935-2023
With sadness and gratitude for a life well lived, we announce the death of Shirley Adeline Coughlin at Central Carleton Nursing Home. She went to be with her Lord on March 17, 2023. Shirley was born in Cloverdale, NB on October 9, 1935. She was the daughter of the late Sam and Alice (Morgan) Webber.
Shirley left home at a very young age to pursue work beginning with CN Telecommunications, working in several offices in NB and NS. Her next employment was with Day and Ross, spending most of her 28 years as a claims adjustor. After her retirement, she was asked to work in McCain’s Public Relations office.
Shirley was actively involved in her community. She was a member of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 24 for almost 70 years, with many years spent as secretary/treasurer. She was a canvasser and area co-ordinator for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Shirley served a term on the Board of Directors of the Central Carleton Nursing Home.
She leaves behind her long-time companion, Kenneth (Buddy) Barss, her daughter, Dixie (Terry Jefferson), her sons, Danny (Shaune) and Michael (Leslie) and a brother, Dale (Roberta) Webber. Shirley had five grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and nine nieces and nephews. She had a multitude of friends, but three were special: Vera Girvan, Lore Fredstrom and Diane Colson. She also leaves behind her canine companion, Mya. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Harry Coughlin, brother, Lloyd Webber and sister, Greta (Ronald) Reid.
